I know everyone says their mom is amazing, but I have to say mine is truly one of a kind. Caring, Kind, Thoughtful + Sweet, she always threw us these AMAZING Themed Birthday Parties as Kids (she still does now). For her 50th Birthday we wanted to stay away from the drab and dreary Over the Hill. Instead we were inspired by her Vintage Red Bike + decided on an Enjoy the Ride Theme! We put together a couple Summertime Staples ~ A Lemonade Stand, <span style="background-color: white;"> Gingham Table Cloth, Watermelon + Apple Pie. And made stationary to go along with our Theme for this Birthday Party!</span></div>

Our Lemonade Stand was inspired by Kristyn's from <a href="http://lilluna.com/" target="_blank">Lil' Luna</a>. Be sure to check out her cute blog + her amazing <a href="http://lilluna.com/tutorial-tuesday-vintage-lemonade-stand/" target="_blank">Vintage Lemonade Stand Tutorial</a>. The main alteration we made from Kristyn's project was we used Canvas rather than wood. This way we were able to attach it to another table with double sided tape. Making our Lemonade Stand a temporary one!</div>

Super Easy ~ Cut canvas to length, tape off equal sections and paint stripes! We made the banner with craft paper from <a href="http://www.hobbylobby.com/" target="_blank">Hobby Lobby</a>. And used the scraps to make colorful Pinwheels + Gift Tags.</div>

{Pete's Place ~ Hollis, Maine}</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of course it wouldn't be a trip to the Pine Tree State without a trip out to Hollis! We've been going to Pete's Place for a couple years now and like always it didn't disappoint! This time around items were more organized in the many trailers he has on the property. Don't get me wrong though ~ there are still plenty of opportunities to get your search on and discover some really cool hidden treasures. So next time you're in Maine, be sure to tell Pete we said hello :) </div>{The Smiths}http://www.blogger.com/profile/01155781531791956998noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2200668104890881692.post-4250586786618985792012-05-20T09:12:00.000-07:002012-07-30T09:14:44.514-07:00Coastal Maine<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
With Cinco De Mayo this weekend, what better vintage find to spotlight ~ Fiestaware! We've collected ours for quite some time ~ staying with a green + blue palette. Fiestaware debuted in the 1930's by <a href="http://www.hlchina.com/" target="_blank">Homer Laughlin </a>with production well into the early 70's. It has since been reintroduced, but we have to say we still prefer the old stuff! </div>

While at the <a href="http://thesmithnest.blogspot.com/2012/04/inman-park-festival.html">Inman Park Festival</a> we came across this fun lamp made with a White Fiesta Pitcher.

And of course we LOVE these heart pendants created by <a href="http://www.dvhdesigns.com/" target="_blank">DVHdesigns</a>. While we don't recommend purposely breaking a vintage plate (gasp! that would be terrible) ~ this is a great way to take chipped or broken pieces and turn them into a fun piece of jewelry!</div>

Last year we built our <a href="http://www.thesmithnest.blogspot.com/2011/04/railroad-tie-garden.html">Railroad Tie Garden Bed</a> + and planted a vegetable garden shown <a href="http://www.thesmithnest.blogspot.com/2011/04/veggie-garden.html">here</a>. After a bit of overcrowding in last year's attempt, we decided to go simpler this year and only planted our favorites.</div>

Last year our cucumbers did surprisingly amazing, hopefully we'll have the same luck this time around! We planted a watermelon for the first time along with Pimento Peppers (which I'm most excited about!).</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Planting didn't take very long, we made sure to add some additional top soil + Miracle Grow. Rawley seemed quite pleased with the outcome!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Brian offered to play porter for the day ~ give the guy a beer and he'll be up for just about anything! We had a great time walking the grounds, listening to live music + people watching. And of course checking out the markets! </div>

Here's a few that caught our eye: </div>

<span style="color: #45818e;"> {Reader's Digest Books}</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm sure most of you have stumbled upon the old Reader's Digest books at some point. We love the punchy colors and retro designs that cover these. Most of ours have been purchased for $1-$2 from our local <a href="http://www.goodwill.org/">Goodwill</a> + Thrift Stores. We plan to use ours around the house + for seasonal decor. <br />
Looking for more creative uses?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
After a very relaxing weekend it's time for us to get back on track with the house renovations. While Brian was away on business I decided to get a head start on our Dining Room Ceiling. The demolition work is always the easiest and let's be honest, kinda fun! We've taken down popcorn ceilings before, first in the <a href="http://www.thesmithnest.blogspot.com/2010/10/guest-bedroom.html">guest bedroom</a>, then in our <a href="http://www.thesmithnest.blogspot.com/2011/11/bedroom-makeover-part-i.html">bedroom</a>. We can't stress enough ~ safety first ~ we always recommend a buddy system when doing demolition projects. Because we've done this before I felt very confident going this time alone.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Supplies area always minimal for these type of tasks. First remove all furniture, tape up door ways to minimize dust + cleanup, get ladder + the following supplies:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Slip proof shoes ~ Sturdy Gloves ~ Goggles ~ Face Mask</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Crow Bar ~ Utility Knife ~ Hammer</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When working around any type of lighting or electric work ~ turn off the power!!</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
While we don't have anything against popcorn ceiling (not sure if this is the technical term for it?) ~ we don't like it in our house. It has cracks, and is sagging in multiple places, frankly it's an eye soar. We've discovered in other rooms that underneath is the original wood slat ceiling ~ and of course I was super stoked when I found it in the dining room as well! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Slowly start in the center, taking away a little at a time. Keep working your way around the room, use the crow bar to help give leverage and the utility knife to score around edges.</div>

Phew! Got the ceiling down and the room cleaned. By no means are we done yet. We'll still need to fill in cracks, seal the ceiling, paint and put molding up. </div>

This post is long overdue ~ I'm sure the pumpkins are a dead giveaway! After starting <a href="http://thesmithnest.blogspot.com/2011/06/front-porch-makeover-part-i.html">Part I</a> of our Front Porch Makeover, Brian's parents came down last October to help with the project.</div>

It took us some time to decide what to do under the porch ~ in the end we finalized on completely redoing the lattice that was originally there. Brian and his dad also came up with a simple solution to frame the lattice.</div>
